Never Mind.

If the sergeant steals your rum, never mind
If the sergeant steals your rum, never mind
Though he's just a noisy sot,
You can let him have the lot
If the sergeant steals your rum, never mind

If you get caught on the wire, never mind
If you get caught on the wire, never mind
They'll leave you hanging there all day,
They'll say you're dead and stop your pay
If you get caught on the wire, never mind

If old gerry shells your trench, never mind
If old gerry shells your trench, never mind
Though the sandbags burst and fly,
You've only once to die
So if old gerry shells your trench, never mind

If your mate just lost his sight, never mind
And he screamed the whole damned night, never mind
'though they'll send him home it's tough,
He'll be great for blind-man's bluff
So if your mate just lost his sight, never mind

If the sergeant says you're mad, never mind
Perhaps you are a little bit, never mind
Just stay calm don't answer back,
For the sarge he stands no slack
So if the sergeant says you're mad, never mind
Oh yes you are

All the best,


Nynia. ^^
